Snyder uses the biography of Józewski to illustrate the momentous turning points in Poland regarding the role of state in society, and competing definitions of nation, nationalism, and modernism. This micro view, placed always within its larger historical and philosophical context, makes for an enticing read. His narrative lands on one man, Henryk Józewski, an artist, intellectual, governor of Polish Volhynia from 1926–1938, and subsequently a secret agent in the Polish underground until his imprisonment in 1953. In his new book, Snyder's gaze plunges earthward to the quiet terrain of Polish Volhynia in the eastern borderlands in the tumultuous interwar years. The narrative of Timothy Snyder's previous book, Reconstruction of Nations: Poland, Ukraine, Luthuania, Belarus, 1569–1999 (2003), scans the Polish-Lithuanian-Ukrainian borderlands giving a bird's-eye view of centuries of history.

In her lifetime Charlotte finds hope and disappointment mingled with faith and desperation, laughter on the heels of weeping, and success assuaging the pain of the most embarrassing failures-her path both all her own and instantly familiar. She finds a touchstone in Jenna, a friend who will be by Charlotte's side through the death of her mother, several failed career moves, even more failed romances, a detour into alcoholism, and finding true love. With her mother pursuing a career as an opera singer and her father returning to Iowa, Charlotte is caught in the divide between her parents' dreams. From the time she moved to New York as a young girl, desperate to tame her ridiculed southern accent, Charlotte Anne Byers has struggled to fit in-even while her strong will makes her clash with everything and everyone around her. This is the life of Charlotte Anne Byers, told by Elizabeth Crane, whose debut, When the Messenger Is Hot, has been praised across the country for its humor and grace. The glittering new book from the author hailed by the Chicago Tribune as "unique, intriguing, and often hilarious."

Wilberforce gets to the heart of the matter. Wilberforce does not mince words, and calls out the biblical illiteracy and behavioral hypocrisy he observed in so-called church people. Many people claimed to be Christian but it had no influence or effect on how they lived their daily life. In Real Christianity he addressed the problem of cultural Christianity in England during his time. William Wilberforce was an evangelical Christian in 18th century England, and he is most well known for leading the movement to abolish the slave trade. The edition is by Victor Classics (2005), and it had been edited and abridged for the modern reader. Awhile back, I found a copy of Real Christianity, Discerning True Faith from False Beliefs by William Wilberforce at the thrift store.
